Huh, The Third Riddick Movie Seems to Actually Be Happening
 |
?The last I heard of the third Riddick movie, Vin Diesel and select number of fans were excited, and… well, not many other people. Certainly not people who fund movies. And yet yesterday Vin Diesel posted the above pic of himself in his new Riddick duds, apparently shooting the movie as I type. Huh. Honestly, I didn’t think it was going to happen, but since Diesel’s a celebrity nerd, I’m pleased it all worked out. I just hope this one is more Pitch Black than Chronicles. (Via /FIlm)
